I think the first time I heard about double tap tactics, it was during Bush’s “war against terror”.
Not a new tactic, used by all forces during ww2 as well
The international equivalent of a jealous spouse that has to lick their ‘partner’ in the face a second time because they think that teaching them a lesson is justified. Meantime most people don’t need to care, can’t afford to get involved in the messy detail and have got higher priorities going on in their own lives to invest any real time, energy or money into what is happening or how to stop it. And because they’re not stopped, the abuser (Russia) somehow thinks it’s a pattern which is OK to work as a loop repeat function. Which it is obviously not OK. But for Russia it works. Although Russia is also clearly NOT OK.
